Intro to Wes Anderson!!

Wesley Wales Anderson was born in Houston
Texas in the Spring of 1969. He is most well-known for his avant garde
style and storybook framing devices. His characters are comprised of recurring
actors that combine to create a Wes Anderson Universe. He is a very divisive director, but he had
amassed a large following due to his artistic attention to detail, emotional undertones,
and intriguing storylines. There is a reason why he is one of the most
well-known directors today: he’s not afraid to create entirely unique stories. Visually, he uses reuses motifs throughout
his work such as the Futura font, storybook framing devices, and symmetrical cinematography. The frequency of the motif use creates a feeling
of cohesiveness throughout Wes’ films. He has been nominated for Academy Awards,
Golden Globes, and BAFTAs. Releasing in 2018 is his next film, Isle of
Dogs which stars recurring actors Bill Murray, Jeff Golblum and Frances McDormand as well
as new collaborators Bryan Cranston, Courtney B Vance, and Greta Gerwig. Like a fine wine, his films get better with
age, and the world cannot wait to see what he produces next.
